C1CEFR level
65/100Rarity: rare
TechnicalRegister
A technique in which the patient repeats information back in their own words to confirm they have understood it correctly.
Using teach-back — 'Just so I know I've explained it well, could you tell me how you'll take the tablets?' — catches misunderstandings early.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
